Great Springtime drink recipe?!
Great Springtime drink recipe?
I am having some friends over in a couple of weeks for a BBQ and was wondering if anyone knew of a great alcohol drink mix to make for us ladies. Guys are going to be drinking beer. I was thinking of Cape Cods but wanted something a little more fruitier and girly.
Answers:
Something similar to a cape cod but girlier would be a bay breeze. Get a highball glass, fill it with ice, add about 2 oz of vodka and fill the rest of the way up with a 50/50 mix of cranberry and pineapple juice. Adjust strength to your personal preferences. Sub in Malibu coconut rum for the vodka to give it less kick and make it even fruitier.
Great Ladies Drink is a "MOJITO", typical Cuban and refreshing !!
This is the Way i make them:
Mint and squeezed Lime crushed with a Muddler or whatelse you got, Sugar Cane muddled, Rum (light) or what you like, Ice and Tonic
To me, nothing says spring/summer like margaritas. A basic Margarita recipe is tequila, triple sec and sweet & sour mix. You can serve them blended or not. Salt the rim of the glass (kosher salt works well) and serve with a wedge of lime. If you want to go girly, make a fruit margarita. Add strawberries, raspberries, or melon, if these are not in season in your area, the frozen stuff works just fine. Instead of salt, you can sugar the rim of the glass, or just leave it plain.
Many stores have really fun margarita glasses.
Beer Margarita......large pitcher...4 Carona beer..1 container of frozen limeade...1 cup Tequila...lime wedges...mix together and enjoy....my girlfriends loved it...and some were not beer drinkers.
